We'd say "Sit at a table [or in a booth] rather than at the [lunch] bar/counter."

In a liquor bar, it's usually only called a bar. Sometimes you stand, and sometimes there are stools.

Edit. Of course liquor bars usually have booths and tables as well as a bar.

You sit AT a table. If you sit on it, your bottom is on the surface of the table, where the dishes/glasses go.

The bar is the long table that people sit at on top of stools. It's where they serve the drinks from.
